Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans and Designation of Areas for
Air Quality Planning Purposes; State of Tennessee

59 FR 39715

DATE: Thursday, August 4, 1994
ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State implementation plan (SIP)
revision submitted by the State of Tennessee for the purpose of redesignation of
the Memphis and Shelby County area (classified as a marginal nonattainment area)
from nonattainment to attainment for ozone. In the final rules section of this
Federal Register, the EPA is approving the State's SIP revision as a direct
final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial revision amendment and anticipates no adverse comments. A
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no
adverse comments are received in response to that direct final rule, no further
activity is contemplated in relation to this proposed rule. If EPA receives
adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public
comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this
proposed rule.

The EPA will not institute a second comment period on this document. Any parties
interested in commenting on this document should do so at this time.

DATES: To be considered, comments must be received by September 6, 1994.

ADDRESSEES: Written comments should be sent to Karen Borel at the EPA address in
Atlanta, Georgia listed below. Copies of the redesignation request and the State
of Tennessee's submittal are available for public review during normal business
hours at the addresses listed below. EPA's technical support document (TSD) is
